I’m dealing with higher voltage than 5V, so was planning to create a voltage divider circuit to handle the difference. Problem is I don’t know what the internal resistance of the pins are. I don’t want to pick some resistor values that would send all 12V through my new cobra.

Is there a way to get a more detailed electrical spec sheet for those pins?

Also, what is the dynamic range of the analog inputs? If I provide it a signal that varies from 1V to 4.25V will it be able provide accurate readings without clipping?

If you check the datasheet on the LPC1788 it states that the range on the ADC is 0 to VDDA so you’ll need to have GHI comfirm what VDDA is connected to as there are no schematics for the G120. It is most likely that they are 3.3V as the only supply need by the G120 is 3.3V according to the documentation.

VREFP, pin 10, Input, ADC positive reference voltage: This should be nominally the same voltage as VDDA but should be isolated to minimize noise and error. Level on this pin is used as a reference for ADC and DAC. This pin should be tied to 3.3 V if the ADC and DAC are not used.

and analog input. When configured as a ADC input, digital section of the pad is disabled and the pin is not 5 V tolerant. This pin is pulled up to a voltage level of 2.3 V to 2.6 V [/quote]

The EE part of my brain suggests finding a way to convert the usable output of your sensor to 3V and then use the Zener or other tricks to keep it confined to definitely under 5 V.

The above is the [em]reference voltage of the ADC[/em]. In an ideal world, one would be able to apply a greater amount of voltage to the AREF ADC input, but realistically, this is already inside a microcontroller’s IC, so we’re lucky to even be 5V tolerant.

Sounds to me like the assumed 3.3V limit on any input that matters is a valid assumption.
